Verburg Gerrit J

I have been a life long –die hard– fan of Gerrit’s Satellite Wafers candies. Since my first taste of these candies almost 20 years ago, I have been hooked! Several years ago, I decided to get a tattoo to commemorate my love for these sprinkle filled confections, and very recently, I emailed a picture of this tattoo to Gerrit’s via there website :
along with a short message about how much I love there candies. Within the hour I had gotten an exceptionally warm personal response, from one of their sales representatives, Lena Denysenko. She thanked me for my business and offered to send me some candy, I suppose for the bloodshed I endured for the love of the Wafer :-P! I had honestly expected a small package, perhaps a couple bags of their candy’s, or maybe even a whole case of Satellites, though even the written response would have been more than enough. Instead I recieved an 8lb box of candy, it was like Christmas! This box along with a hand written note from Lena! It’s so refreshing in today’s day and age to have companies around such as Gerrit’s, with real, accessable, kind people who are extending the proverbial hand each and every day. I had no doubt’s about being a life long fan of this product, but I can now say, I am a life long fan of this company as well.

British Gummy Wine Candies made in Holland then imported to Michigan? Ok, that’s an interesting path. However the candies are very flavorful and not too sweet. The gum texture is pretty viscous, unlike the softer American style. Chardonnay, Cognac, Rum, Port flavors are all solid. Too bad these dont have real booze in them!
